Going to make things stripy and glitter with this manicure
The base I'd decided on was Essie's Absolutely shore which I might have blogged about somewhere in the past but I can't say for definite.
Essie's AS is a light sea foam green but my photo editing may have washed out that little bit of colour in this polish. The photo below shows AS at two coats.
For this manicure:
- Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
- Apply two coats of Essie's Absolitely Shore as the base.
- With some nail vinyls apply it vertically on the index and pinkie finger nail.
- Using Essie's Going incognito - an emerald green apply over the index and pinkie finger nail, wait a few seconds before peeling the nail vinyls to avoid the polish 'spilling'.
- Layer China Glaze's Tinsel Town on the middle and ring finger nail.
- Seal with one coat of a matte top coat. (I used China Glaze's Matte Magic.)
Hmm, the index and pinkie really makes me think of a watermelon but I'm still 50/50 with the overall look.

I've missed wearing a full pink manicure without layering any design over it. Usually I'd go for more of the pastel pinks because hey they're still very gorgeous but as I was rummaging through my drawers and drawers of polish I came across this.
China Glaze's Dance baby. This one is more of a blue based pink and it's good enough at two coats here. Good consistency and even application.
Do you own any China Glaze polishes? Which is your favourite?
